Mobile devices may pay for carrier service in several ways. Two common ways are to post-pay for service or pre-pay for service. Post-paying involves subscribers paying for services that have been rendered, for example, paying for mobile services consumed during a prior period of time. As long as the subscriber pays the periodic bill according to an agreement, services may continue. Pre-paying involves establishing an account balance with a service provider to then draft against as services are utilized by the mobile device. When prepaid service funds become exhausted, the subscriber may add funds to the account in order to continue using the mobile service for the mobile device.
